here is 2 tree questions.
You say "fighting deadwood" Very loose terms and not lucid. I never
heard of such a thing.
Please explain what you are saying.

Define "dead" =
Define "wood" =
See, wood is not static so it may be hard to define like humic acids.
Its constantly going through ecological stages.

Don Where is your section on your web page as far as how you define a
forester?

I know very little about orchids. What kind of food do you feed a
orchid?
Do they store their food? In what form and where? I thought they
were
autotrophs. Shows how much I know.
BTW the ghost flower is a heterotroph.
http://tinyurl.com/yo38zt-


You can use regular miracle or any 10-10-10 food. No "special"
ferti;izer
is needed.-

Oh, so you really are not feeding the plant. Just applying N-P-K. BTW

there are 14 other essential elements. Some more important than others
in
different amounts for different plants. 14 From the soil.
They are C; H; N; O; P; K; S; Mg; Ni; Fe; Ca; Zn; Mo; Mn; B; Cl; Cu
I guess that the orchid must be an autotroph. Autotrophs manufacture
their
own food and we do not feed them. That is the case for most plants. I
say
most because of exceptions like Ghost Flowers. They have no
chlorophyll to
trap sunlight energy and manufacture food. They are more like a
heterotroph. Humans are heterotrophs. The chemical companies trick
you to
believing their product is food.
Food is a substance that provides and energy source, mostly. Nutrient
is a
substance that provides an energy source, elements, and other
substances
essential for life, in types and amounts that can provide a healthy
life.
Fertilizer is a substance that provides elements, as salts mostly, or
in
bonded forms, that require microorganisms to alter to forms that can be

absorbed or taken in by plants. They are not absorbing in the sense of
a
Bounty paper towel.

I eat chips and Battered Fish in the yard cause i live above a chippy
so the yard is a messy hole. one of you might want a little project to
come and sort the damn thing out if you want?

many thanks
(its a bloody mess)


Wot? Greasy newsprint? Either mulch it and prepare to plant in May or
stick a match to it (once it dries it some, say in July or August) and
keep a garden hose handy (at hand). You do have garden hoses don't you?
So many Europeans (May I call you an European? I mean you all did come
over from the Continent after migrating from Africa.) rely completely on
the vagaries of the weather for their watering needs. I mean, what the
bloody hell is a garden hose manufacturer supposed to do anyway?

Well, tootleloo and do give my regards to Attila-the-Hen;-)

What the chuff is a consulting Arborist, someone who stands and stares at trees with their chopping tool in their hand looking rather flushed and excited?????????????????????
Someone needs to get a PROPER JOB like kebab sales or uphill gardener!!!!

And do yourself and everyone else a favor; when directing people to

Until you dig mycorrhizae you should really reframe from such claims.
Scientific research. get a shovel and go look!!!! They are there!!!!!


I will say it again. A tree root is NOT mycorrhizae. They are two
separate things, brought together via capillary water as a route and
in a symbiotic expedition perform a valuable function to any plant
which is susceptible to this formation. IT does not exist on it's
own.

As for digging; I don't know how old you are, but I've been digging
in the dirt since I have been a child. I worked as a grower
professionally for some years at both huge commercial, two million
sq/ft under glass, to as small as five thousand sq/ft under glass. I
think I have an understanding of this fungi, not a single fungus, as
you call it.



Great, please show me some of your pictures of mycorrhizae you have dug.
You sound confused? A fungus infects a non-woody root of a tree and a
mycorrhiza forms. This is an infection many trees rely on to bring in
phosphates. They are common in, on and near large woody material as it
decomposes. It is a organ which is a composite structure made up of both
root tissue and fungus tissue. You may be speaking of something else.
There are organs under water under ice in New Hampshire. They may be called
Oomycorrhizae. Is that what you mean? Do you have a web site with your
pictures?

We aren't the boss? Who is? Are you saying someone up in the sky
makes the earth quake, water flood, fires, storms and volcanic
eruptions? That explains a lot I guess.

If there's no fungus then there are no mycorrhizae. If there is no

mycorrizae occur.



So then grass, marigolds, grapevines, not being trees, don't have
mycorrhiza?

Annuals have bacteria. Perennials like fungi. Annuals like a higher pH
than perennials.

Not from my understanding. I just found this list of plants which form
endomycorrhizae. Please do not quote me on the accuracy of the list. Just
an example.
Acacia, Agapanthus, Ailanthus, Alder, Alfalfa, Almond, Apple, Apricot,
Artichoke, Ash, Asparagus, Avocado, Bamboo, Banana, Basil, Bayberry, Bean,
Begonia, Black Locust, Blackberry, Box Elder, Boxwood, Buckeye, Bulbs (all),
Burning Bush, Cacao, Cactus, Camellia, Carrot, Cassava, Catalpa, Ceanothus,
Celery, Cherry, Chokeberry, Chrysanthemum, Citrus (all), Clover, Coconut,
Coffee, Coral Tree, Corn, Cotton, Cottonwood, Crabapple, Cryptomeria,
Cucumber, Currant, Cypress, Dogwood, Eggplant, Elm, Euonymus, Fern, Fescue,
Fig, Forsythia, Fountain Grass, Fuschia, Gardenia, Garlic, Geranium, Ginko,
Grapes (all), Grass, Gum, Hackberry, Hawthorne, Hibiscus, Holly,
Hophornbeam, Hornbeam, Horsechestnut, Impatiens, Jojoba, Juniper, Kiwi,
Leek, Lettuce, Lily, Locust, London, Magnolia, Mahogany, Mahonia, Mango,
Maples (all), Marigold, Melons (all), Mesquite, Millet, Mimosa, Morning
Glory, Mulberry, Monkeypod, Nasturtium, Okra, Olive, Onion, Pacific Yew,
Palms (all), Palmetto, Pampas Grass, Papaya, Paulownia, Passion Fruit, Paw
Paw, Pea, Peach, Peanut, Pear, Pecan, Pepper, Pistachio, Persimmon,
Pittosporum, Plum, Poinsettia, Potato, Poplar, Raintree, Raphiolepis,
Raspberry, Redbud, Redwood, Rice, Rose, Russian Olive, Ryegrass, Sagebrush,
Sassafras, Serviceberry, Sourwood, Soybean, Squash (all), Strawberry, Sudan
Grass, Sugar Cane, Sumac, Sunflower, Sweet Gum, Sweet Potato, Sycamore, Tea,
Tobacco, Tomato, Tree-of-heaven, Tupelo, Walnut, Wheat, Yam, Yellow Poplar,
Yucca.

Better said, without the plant root tissues, or without the fungus tissues
you cannot have a mycorrhiza. Again the word mycorrhiza is Greek. "mycor"
meaning fungi. "rhiza" meaning root. It is a composite organ made up of
plant root tissues and fungi tissues. Is it root or fungus? The answer is
yes. People don't like that kind of question.

The same site had a list of plants that do not respond to endo or ecto.
They had pine and oak on the list. Anytime I dug pine or oak roots I found
ectomycorrhizae. So please do not quote that list.
